Christmas Stockings
Last year, I made custom stockings for the pets.
Rosco’s is denim with silver stripes, Adelaide’s is
fleece, and Miu’s is red sequined that is supposed to
look kind of like fish scales. This left Matt and I
with boring, store-bought stockings. That was a
problem.
So, the weekend after Thanksgiving, we went to the
fabric store together and chose materials for our own
stockings. It was tough to narrow down our choices,
but ultimately Matt chose skulls and crossbones, and I
chose pink snowmen. Quite appropriate, I’d say. So,
here they are. You can see the pets’ stockings as
well.

[...] I’m glad I didn’t buy him a newborn Thanksgiving outfit because that would have been a waste. It was tempting because I saw a lot of cute things, but he clearly didn’t need an outfit for today. After he is born, we’ll go get him some cute Christmas outfits. I thought it would be fun to shop with him for those instead of getting them ahead of time. We’ll also take him to the fabric store to choose a fabric for his stocking. If you’ll remember, I made stockings for the rest of the family and I’m looking forward to making one for the baby, too. We’ll have to see what his personality is like to figure out what kind of fabric suits him. [...]
